40GNAI - Pink&Teal + Brush Stroke

Hello!

Today's Friday and it's my first day of vacation, yay!

As usual, since we're Friday, it's 40GNAI's day!

Today was Pink & Teal + Brush Stroke. For some reasons, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. YAY!

 

Distressed mermaid! It was actually easy to do and I had to restrain myself a little because I was going too heavy on my brush strokes and the distressed effect was disappearing.

 

I think it looks so nice!

 

I added a bit of bling, because mermaid.

 

A mani done in.. what.. 10 minutes? Pretty much. I really like it.

 

What do you think?

 

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Coral + White + Aztec and Review for Born Pretty Store

Hello, hello!

This week's prompt was Coral + White with my personal one Aztec.

I decided to do a gradient and then stamped some Aztec design on top. There was no way I was going to freehand them this week. I don't know why but I find it difficult to paint Aztec/Tribal designs on my nails. It always ends up looking like a catastrophe.

 

Like I said I did a gradient with Live.Love.Carnaval. by OPI and Fiji by Essie.

 

My coral looks orange. I know. Can't figure out why. Do you have any recommendations?

After it dried a little bit I added the stamping. I use a regular white stamping polish from Born Pretty Store and use my clear jelly stamper to stamp the design on my nails.

The clear jelly stamper was from Born Pretty Store, too, and I was very pleased to see that it didn't need to be "prepped". It picked the image right up and stamped perfectly. It is a little bit more squishy than my other clear jelly stamper that I got from LadyQueen.com. As a matter of fact I think I like it better. Squishier and stickier :) I guess it depends on the person :)

If you want to buy from Born Pretty Store, you can always use my coupon code : DEAEX31!
If you want to buy nail art items from LadyQueen, you can use this code too: DXYS15!

I hope you liked it and I'll see you next week!

Happy polishing!

40GNAI - Summer

Hello!

It's Friday today and finally we have some warm weather! Yeah!

The prompt for today was 'Summer'. Summer can be almost anything and for me it equals with warm and beautiful sunsets. It has been a long moment since I freehanded something and I miss it so today was a 100% freehanded design.

I only have one picture to show you because it is a mani that you have to see in a whole.

 

Imagine you're in Hawaii or somewhere else where these sunsets are a regular thing. Aaaaah.

 

I really missed doing this. It was super fun and even if it doesn't look exactly like I wanted, I think it's still good.

 

Hope you liked it!

 

Happy polishing!
